So glad AMD's back.
godmodus··on NeoVim 0.2.0 released
Syntactic and highlighting unusual?
godmodus··on NeoVim 0.2.0 released
Editing latex(colors, parens, higjlighting, syntax check)

Scala (700 lines/file)

Managed to do more with nvim - yet to try syntactic again, thatll be the real test) but so far amuch more stable experience movement wise. (the files i work on are huge and im tasked with refactoring, so i cant avoid the hugeness)

godmodus··on NeoVim 0.2.0 released
The diffwrence in performance is hhuuuugggee!

Vim lags on my project, nvim doesnt! Quadcorei5, 16hb ram!

godmodus··on Why Wallflowers Don't Make Friends
Thats a catch 22 for some. Cant meet friends through friends if you dont have feiends.
godmodus··on Why Wallflowers Don't Make Friends
Register for a social Hobby. Karate, guitar, dancing, book club or frisbee. I wouldnt reccomend a gym, though maybe on the side for health reasons.
godmodus··on Concerns with JPMS spec and Jigsaw implementation
I doubt its a deathblow, iot wont go amywhere, niether will java. Where theres a will theres away and jigsaw wants to focus on security and performance. Honestly id prefer to wait a bit for something stable tham get another half arsed exploitable stack. Many here still remember the horrid days of java past.
godmodus··on N.S.A Halts Collection of Americans’ Emails About Foreign Targets
I doubt that, esp with all the russian tenssions recently.
godmodus··on Concerns with JPMS spec and Jigsaw implementation
"IBM is also voting "no" which reflects our position that the JSR is not ready at this time to move beyond the Public Review stage and proceed to Proposed Final Draft"

The title is a tad misleading. They just want to delay the project, not block it. (at least i undetstood theyd delay it from initially reading the title)

godmodus··on Gender and verbs across 100K stories: a tidy analysis
I merely referenced a meme to convey my opinion, which is repeated in the comment itself. We have to be careful not to turn hn into an ivory tower.

I do get you, but take it witha grain of sault. The real danger to our discourse is opinion Manipulation and echo chambers.

"along with his heart, she stole his last remaining shilling. But he should have known better than to surrender his heart to an apache attack helicopter" more like
godmodus··on Gender and verbs across 100K stories: a tidy analysis
Thats not trolling, thats a humorous jab at the fact they were too eager to draw sweeping conclusions based on a, while promising if fine tuned, shotgun methodology to classify gender, but since you were so quick to shout out troll, there, i spellt it out for you.

Im glad atleast some folks find the post funny.

Scalakka devops represent!
godmodus··on Software Developers after 40, 50 and 60 Who're Still Coding
I come from an age that used csv wranglers. ma pa was a csv wrangler and so was his pa before him spits into bucket scrapins hard work lad.
godmodus··on Uber gets sued over alleged ‘Hell’ program to track Lyft drivers
Each man, and woman, should have a line in the sand that they wouldnt cross. Some call this honor, I like to call this behavior integrity.
godmodus··on Show HN: Language Learning with Music and Lyrics
Would be nice if trying it did't require a sign up.
godmodus··on Why Juicero’s Press Is So Expensive
Salvaged for a robotics project?
godmodus··on ASK HN: At your organization, are internships just another recruiting tool?
Small is anything under 100-150.

Big is folks like Bosch, daimler, deloit etc. Theyre not google big, big certainly big on software. If ur brave, try SAP.

Daimler always looks for new intrrnationsl talent, check them out

godmodus··on Why Juicero’s Press Is So Expensive
My hand mate
godmodus··on Why Juicero’s Press Is So Expensive
Beauriful but over engineered for its niche and utterly useless.

700bucks for abag squeezer? Something went terribly wrong.

It feels like they aimed to produce some advanced robotics and built the wrong product. Could turn this into a limb for amputees, makes more sense and actually good use of the resources.

godmodus··on Software Developers after 40, 50 and 60 Who're Still Coding
Full stack is just new age lingo, and sure why not. We say AI (shudder) these days instead of ML, we say devops instead of sysadmin, we say cloud instead of vps/hosting.

Times change and so does language, true to any old fart out there, and the old farts to be.

godmodus··on Thousands of computers now compromised with leaked NSA tools, researchers say
Good, the will jolt national and global security standards.
godmodus··on ASK HN: At your organization, are internships just another recruiting tool?
That is very common, more common in small companies than large ones. This is true to Germay, atleast.

Bosch, daimler,sap, all Offer no strings attached.

The company iwork at didnt exactly prefer me over others,ihad way more linux experience than other candidates and it was a dev ops position, but i also saw a gleam in their eye when they heard id like to stay long term.

Its a resource issue, im "cleaning up" lots of the code my short term predecessors left behind.

Short term apprenticeships generate quite a bit of technicalde debt for a "small" company.

Addendum;

Apprenticeships require resources. So a small compny would be more willing to spend what they can afford- engineer guidance and withstanding non productivity- on prrsons they can benefit from.

Big companies benefit from apprentices(?) that lean towards their tech stack going to other companies. So its not all bad.

Tip: want a no strings attached p Apprenticeship: go big.

godmodus··on Scientists Aging Faster Than Other Workers
Lack of sleep and publishing pressures probably play aml major role.
godmodus··on Is the gender pay gap even real? We looked into it
Lots of spam today
godmodus··on Richard Posner: “The Real Corruption Is the Ownership of Congress by the Rich”
Not sure why youre being downvoted. Its a bleak comment, but still true.

There are many individuals and their respected conglomerates who own sums that equal and exceed the wealth of many nations. Our systems and even our own nature allows for this. And its bad. Real bad.

Some are benevolent, most arent.

I mean this does sound conspiracy'ish, but it really isnt. We will feel the brunt of it all soon, and we'll need viable solutions, a new way of government, and a new way of sustaining ourselves that avoids such concentrations of power.

godmodus··on Where does the Ubuntu Linux desktop go from here?
More stability, add gaming support.

I moved to fedora because Ubuntu tends to break and guzzle resources.

godmodus··on When People Ate People, a Strange Disease Emerged
Well, scale tends to even things out. These companies won't disappear, but climate and anti meat movements will force them to transform, probably soon.

By soon I mean not I our life time, but Certainly the few coming generations. We've been eating meat for millenia. I give till the end of the century.

godmodus··on When People Ate People, a Strange Disease Emerged
part of that optimization is also disease prevetion, if we maximize "product" but produce more expenses in the form of diseases, we'd be losing money, not making any.

the meat industry is a horror show, tbh, and they don't maximize product extraction because they want to save every last piece of protien, they do it for the cash.

godmodus··on Ultima VI
This is a strange way to implement an text editor.
